    1. The document discusses different types of span lengths used in transmission line design including basic span, ruling span, average span, wind span, and weight span. 2. It also discusses how ruling span and average span are calculated and how they are used to determine tower spotting and calculate horizontal tension. 3. Finally, it discusses the determination of base width for transmission line towers, including using the Ryle formula to calculate the optimal base width to minimize total cost of the tower and foundations.

    Design Span lengths

    1.Basic Span
    Most economic span
    Line is designed over level ground
    The requisite ground clearance is obtained
    at maximum specified temperature

    2.Ruling Span 3.Average Span
    Assumed design span that will produce,
    between dead ends Mean span length between dead ends
    It is used to calculate the horizontal It is assumed that the conductor is
    component of tension (which is applied to all freely suspended such that each
    spans b/w anchor pts) individual span reacts to change in
    Tower spotting on the profile is done by tension as a single average span
    means of sag template, (which is based on
    ruling span) Average span = (L1+ L2+...+L6) /6

    Ruling span = √ ( L1^3 + L2^3 +….+L6^3 / L1 + L2 + … + L6)

    R.SARAVANAN, PGET, L&T UAE 2


    4.Wind Span 5.Weight Span
    Half the sum of the two spans, Horizontal distance between the
    adjacent to support lowest point of conductor, on the two
    It is assumed that the conductor is spans adjacent to the tower
    freely suspended such that each The lowest point is defined as point
    individual span reacts to change in at which the tangent to sag curve
    tension as a single average span It is used in design of cross-arms

    Wind span = 0.5(L1 + L2)

    Weight span = a1 + a2

    Determination of Base Width

    The base width(at the concrete level) is the distance between the centre of
    gravity at one corner leg and the centre of gravity of the adjacent corner
    leg.
     A particular base width which gives the minimum total cost of the tower and
    foundations.
    Ryle
    Formula

     The ratio of base width to total tower height for most towers is generally
    about one-fifth to one-tenth.
